Thanks to me for starting last month's thread.

Hello count me in I'm on my second attempt at decluttering my stash. Things are more urgent now as I'm in the process of arranging a new bathroom. The current one is full of baskets of all sorts
My particular vice is any mini sized products. I've just managed to not renew my Beauty Pie subscription so a small step forward!

I'm in for focus more than anything as the stash is reduced to usables @Cressida100 it was a new bathroom that got me to finally downsize!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Thanks for the new thread, @Hodgepodge!
After throwing away a load of expired stuff and a few hated products last month from my PP list (5 items), I've finally amended it with 5 new things so that I am not cheating the system!PP list- 24 for 24: 11 gone so far!
1) Benefit Gogo Tint: bright cherry lip n cheek tint. Probs will last a hundred years!
2) Sugarpill loose eyeshadow in Absinthe: A sparkly green, of which I have many.
3) Barry M eyeshadow pot in 44: a copper shimmer
4) DERMATORY - Hypoallergenic Cica Gel Cream 50ml
5) NEOGEN - Dermalogy White Truffle Serum In Oil Drop
6) The Body Shop- Body Yogurt in Strawberry
7) MAC Black Cherry Glow Play Lipbalm: bought in 2021.... probably should use this up now!
8) Skin1004 Brightening ampoule toner: nice serum with tranexamic, vit C deriviative, centella. Huge bottle.
9) Rimmel Oh My Gloss! Plump in Angel Shimmer: love this, but got it in Dec 2022 so time to get this used up. New addition to PP list.
10) BEAUTY BAY 5% Squalane + Grapeseed Oil Serum Hybrid – 6 month expiry so I need to use it up! New addition.
11) Lily Lolo blush in Cherry Blossom- lovely peachy colour with shimmer. New addition.
12) Cetraben Moisture Protect Facial Cleanser (200ml): need to start face washing more instead of just using micellar of an evening, so to stop the lazy, putting this on my list. New addition.
13) Isntree Chestnut 8% AHA Essence - Mini (20ml): didn’t realise this had such a short expiry- it expires in September! In honesty, I have a feeling this will expire before I use it, as I'm a bit scared of strong skincare products now incase they trigger a reaction, though I did use this before just fine. New addition.

Ins: Two vitamin C serums to try. Avalon Radiance Serum and Glow Vitamin C serum mini 10 ml pot. Both bought through work to trial. Obviously could not wait and so both pots opened and tried. Love the Avalon one. The Glow one., the jury is out. Have put the Glow one to be used up first.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Burberry My Burberry
This product was thrown in as a Gimmee product to give this Project some impetus. I also didnt realuse that this is the last in my stash. This is a HG product for me and I usually bulk order these so will look to order shortly.
I replaced this oil wirh my bottle of Burberry My Burberry which peobably has 2 weeks' worth of product left.
Another UU but not on my list is a package of Coffee Scrub from ALDI. It was a dupe of the Frank one. Needed to tackle all my suntanned flaky bits Didnt particularly like this product and hace another pack that ill give to Emma. I got an email from Boots today and am excited that tgey are now selling Tree Hut. Their scrubs are divine however they are pricey at £18.00 a pot (200ml though). Will wait for an offer.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Coupla UUs this morning

And another surprise pan this morning- Beauty Bay Earthy 16 pan- shade Cava- pale gold shimmer. A nice inner corner and topper shade to add a bit of extra sparkly to my green look this morning.Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400
